Colored Romeo 14 Sep 1910 Lyrics

1st verse:]
Last winter Liza Snow
Picked up a book called Romeo
She read a page or so
Then hunted for a man
Soon she was dreaming of
A beau who cooed just like a dove
A man who sho' could love
Like a Romeo can
She wandered out one night
Beneath the pale moonlight
And sang with all her might
This ancient cry

[chorus:]
Where art thou, Romeo
My colored Romeo
The balcony wants to see he and she, you and meIrving Berlin - Colored Romeo 14 Sep 1910 - http://motolyrics.com/irving-berlin/colored-romeo-14-sep-1910-lyrics.html
Come out and pet your colored Juliet
Don't linger, do it now
Come kiss my fevered brow
Shakespear's love come and show me, colored Romeo

[2nd verse:]
Miss Liza's father Joe
Did not approve of Romeo
But Liza loved him so
They ran off in a car
They made a mile or three
In almost nothing, don't you see
The auto struck a tree
Then they didn't go far
Miss Liza from the ground
Kept gazing all around
Her beau could not be found
So Liza cried
